How does Leonardo Genoni look? I signed him in my sim league this year hoping he'll get picked up.

Genoni is great, very calm, but also gets great support from the team.

Pretty good...

25 Saves so far.

Looks really good. He had a huge season with Davos, winning the Swiss Championship. He seems to be the guy, who does everything to take a step forward, working hard all season long. I see him play in North America in 1-2 years.

This link said it would be on, but also gave us the old "subject to change" disclaimer.

Maybe the ratings were too low, but then again they had to be better than the random fishing show they're showing now.

Dave Randorf just welcomed the viewers on Versus. He didn't get the memo.

Just tuning in - why are we (Canada) playing the swiss so softly? Start frigging banging bodies around, ffs...\


Wow - great timing phaneuf. Give these guys a wake up call. They are free wheeling around a little too much for my liking....

 

[Chainshot]

Phaneuf just caught Moser.

 

[Hennessy]

Tko.

 

[RedwingsnCudi13]

damn.

 

[Leafidelity]

Wow that was scary seeing his eyes roll back in his head.

 

[Latex*]

Wow!
That was pretty scary!

 

[Belenos]

Hope Moser is ok...he lost consciousness for some seconds on the bench.

 

[joe89]

Can anyone try a medical explanation of that?

Kudos to him for making it to the bench.
I didn't think that th hit was all that bad?
Looked like Phaneuf actually let up a little bit?

 

[JEI]

Can anyone try a medical explanation of that?

Pierre McGuire: "He got PHANEUFED!"

 

[Davebo*]

Whistle all you like, crybabies in the rink. Hitting is a part of hockey.

And look at that 1-1 now

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

Eberle.

 

[WeberStreit]

I think that hit changed the game. Switzerland looks cowed.

 

[nahcmo]

That was a solid hit by Phanuef. Hope the Swiss player is alright though; looked pretty scary for a few moments there on the bench.


1-1... about time.

And what's with the screeches/whistles every time Canada throws a hit?

Same thing that happens in any NHL rink in the playoffs when the visiting team knocks someone down. What's the big deal?

Refs in Europe are known to fall for the pressure of the fans. You boo enough when your player gets hit/hooked/hold and you're likely to draw a penalty eventually. But I'm pretty sure the same thing happens in North America, the booing at least..

 

[Systemfel]

Good hit IMO, but Phaneuf should be out of this game per IIHF rules.

540. Checking to the head and neck area
a) A player who directs a check or blow, with any part of his body or equipment to the head and neck area of an opposing player or "drives" or "forces" the head of an opposing player into the protective glass on boards [...]

[Latex*]

Nice dive there by Nash.

Lol

 

[SuperSaiyanBeastmode]

what a soft penalty... but i don't mind it

edit: wait what neal too?

 

[jonas2244]

Nash is diving like a world champion today, that was his third.

Not in our rink, and we have the most vocal fans in the world. Although the opposition thinks otherwise....
